Charlie Brooker pans Jamie mission?

The television critic, who also wrote TV zombie special Dead Set, has hinted that the next series of Screenwipe will focus on campaigning programmes such as Jamie’s Ministry Of Food, in which Jamie called for more home cooking.

Explaining the term ‘mission documentaries’ which will be used in the series, Charlie said: “You know, things such as Jamie’s Ministry Of Food or Trinny And Susannah Undress The Nation – ‘I’m on a mission toâ¦.'”.

“We made a programme in the last series like The Apprentice to show how programmes like that are made. We’re going to do another one of those, but this one is going to be a mission documentary.

“I can’t tell you what it is yet, but it’s obviously our stupid version of that.”

Kids’ TV is also likely to come under the spotlight in the next series, if Charlie gets his scripts in on time.

“It’s all very last minute. We try to stock up on the reports, but the rest is done in a demented blur close to transmission.
